Food crisis grips Sidr-hit Southkhali

Worst hit by the Sidr on November 15 last year, Southkhali union under Sharankhola upazila of Bagerhat district now sees severe food crisis and many people are reportedly suffering from various diseases resulting from starvation and semi-starvation. Lack of employment opportunity coupled with absence of relief for the Sidr-hit people during the last three months has worsened the situation, locals said.
